Why Don't You Stay

Glenn Hughes · From Now On... [1994]

There's an old sayin'

That just won't leave my mind

And you know I've been praying

Girl you know that you're one of a kind

And I know that you're lonely, baby

And I know you've been sad

And I've been dyin' to see you



There's a picture of you

That's deep inside of my soul

And I wouldn't do

Anything you didn't want me to

'cause I get a little worried darlin'

'cause you gotta keep on the right track

And I'm callin' you

So won't you please come back



Chorus:



Baby why don't you stay

I can't stop you from leavin'

Baby don't go away

You gotta keep on believin'

Baby why don't you stay

Let's make a brand new start

And let's have a little heart to heart



So let's make a toast

To the times that we've had

'cause I love you the most

Thru' the good and thru' the bad

If you want good lovin'

You know where I will be

So won't you please come back

Baby come back to me



And let's make a brand new start

'cause the only thing that I want

Is for you to be happy, baby



Baby why don't you stay...
